What do you think of Sister Simplice?

I have not gotten to that part of Les Mis on my reread, so I don't remember her too well 😅 but didn't she lie to Javert despite hating lies? That makes her kinda cool in my opinion I guess!

LM 2.5.6

the reverse of valjean’s flight from the bishop: over the wall; through the garden; and into the place of worship

"deaf stones" is (i think) a reference to habakkuk 2:19. that chapter also has the verses "Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity" (fairly standard les mis) and "What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?" i know hugo had issues with the catholic church, and i wonder if he took the protestant view that catholicism was bordering on idolatry

i really don’t think you can hear the difference between a virgin’s voice and a non-virgin's voice

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - The Beginning of an Enigma, LM 2.5.6 (Les Miserables 1925)

All at once, in the midst of this profound calm, a fresh sound arose; a sound as celestial, divine, ineffable, ravishing, as the other had been horrible. It was a hymn which issued from the gloom, a dazzling burst of prayer and harmony in the obscure and alarming silence of the night; women’s voices, but voices composed at one and the same time of the pure accents of virgins and the innocent accents of children,—voices which are not of the earth, and which resemble those that the newborn infant still hears, and which the dying man hears already. This song proceeded from the gloomy edifice which towered above the garden. At the moment when the hubbub of demons retreated, one would have said that a choir of angels was approaching through the gloom.

Cosette and Jean Valjean fell on their knees.

They knew not what it was, they knew not where they were; but both of them, the man and the child, the penitent and the innocent, felt that they must kneel.
